While he made good plays with his legs yesterday he literally threw an INT that turned into a TD, we had no such luck

Eh, I think that tune is overplayed, and some may be over sensitive to it because Lamar's our guy. He had a bad game at the most important time, and we lost. Who would get a pass there?

Didn't he also help them win the game?

Lamar wants to be Tom Brady, he needs to start understanding how to dink and dunk

It was a bad throw.

This. It looked like we started to do that during the season.

They desperately need to develop a quick game. It looked like they had something the second half last week. Just ridiculous, I’m so disgusted at the coaches

Idk this loss took a toll on me more than I thought it would. Ultimately the Ravens didn’t play well and had every opportunity to win with the defense holding the best QB in the league to 17 points. Monken did his best Roman impression and penalties and turnovers, things that haven’t haunted the Ravens all season, haunted them yesterday.
Several things just doesn’t feel right about yesterday and how the season has played out.
1. Found out that Taylor Swift has made the Chiefs over $300 million this season just from her attending games. Also the impact of women watching the game (is a good thing) is insane.
2. Now the Super Bowl Logo theory is squashed. NFL can stop worrying about the “NFL is scripted comments”
3. 80% of money in Vegas was on Baltimore.
4. NFL handpicked refs that favored the away team specifically for this game.
5. Hearing commentators all game glaze the Chiefs.
6. Seeing Patrick Mahomes and Kelce in every commercial. I never remember it being this skewed that all commercials had them. Even Brady’s dominance never really had many commercials.
7. Lopsided calls (and no calls)
Now I hate to be a conspiracy theorist and I know the NFL wouldn’t make it as obvious as a logo to show who would win. But it really does feel like there have been steps along the way to make sure the Chiefs become the next Pats. And I’m not saying Patrick, Taylor, or anyone would be in on this. This just doesn’t feel like the NFL anymore to me. And something doesn’t feel right.
It’s holding me back from wanting to watch the Super Bowl.

Bruhs, they were WAITING for this day to happen. They're celebrating this shit like their team won a SB. And fuck that cowardly bitch. Had nothing to say when he was playing well, but now she want to stick her neck out and talk shit. Fuck out of my face.

We just went away from all the things we do well and just put it on Lamar.
If that’s the game plan then I want some changes made

The whole point of Lamar is the RPO and how powerful that is to run, pass, or run it himself. And with no established run game that takes away his superpower. Why does this only happen in playoff games? It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t feel right.

Something is way off. It’s not like we went down bad and then had to air it out. That didn’t happen at all.

I couldn't agree more. Lamar is going to get smoked by the media because of this showing or the lack thereof but to me (all things being equal) he brought it on himself with his gameplay (i.e. holding the football and trying to stay in the pocket way too long, the fumble and the interception). To me, this was his opportunity to shine and eradicate the demons from previous playoffs. It didn't happen. Same ole' same ole.

Of course they are and there is nothing anyone can say against it in my view. It's unfortunate, cause Lamar (and the Ravens) had the opportunity to squash all of that talk with an "MVP-like" performance. One we did not see!

The thing that bothers me most is the depth of stupidity of that throw. With over 10 minutes left on the clock and hopefully knowing that a FG would be good at that point, he chooses to throw into a sea of red unis, and doesn’t even put the ball where his guy could have a shot at catching it. It’s just got me in a state of disbelief. I know Lamar is smarter than that, right? Somebody help me understand why Monk wasn’t in his ear telling him not to take unnecessary risks in that moment.
Haven said that there were so many miscues in that game. The Zay taunting penalty, the Clowney head shot, the Zay fumble, the INT, etc., it’s hard to put it all on Lamar’s shoulder. Just one big clusterfuck if you ask me.

I've been trying all day to put words to what I saw yesterday, but the whole OFF came out with their hair on fire. Way too much adrenaline, or something. The only thing I could compare it to is when you're a kid playing basketball and you're playing so frenetically that your shots are off a little, rebounds are grabbed and all the hands around cause you to throw the ball away or put up a quick under the hoop shot without really even thinking about it and you miss or up-and-down. It just seemed like they were playing with that kind of self imposed urgency. Where you're moving at a faster speed than the game and what's necessary and just mistake ridden because of it.
I know others must have had this experience. I know it's a juvenile comparison, but I actually just witnessed this same thing with my son's basketball game. His team is pretty good, but the other team was expected to win going in, but they came out like that and never recovered from it. They were clearly pushing. I feel like I saw the same thing yesterday.
Really felt this was our year and to go out with the kind of "thud" we did is just.... sad. But that OFF was a hot, f'ing mess.

I'm borrowing this from another poster on Reddit regarding the Likely no-call/INT:
The ball was headed directly for where Likely stopped, which is the moment interference happened. He got shoved out of the way, and the DB got an uncontested catch.

Ball is caught directly over that same spike: https://imgur.com/a/dKPCZHe
Matched up Likely's position where he stopped before contact to 2nd image: https://imgur.com/a/OuiUwQu
Likely probably doesn't catch that ball in all seriousness, there's no reason to assume he would watching the replay, but there's a decent shot he prevents the INT at least. That's why it's clear DPI.

So to summarize, we drew up a play, and executed it, where the best case scenario is a defensive penalty, and the worst case scenario is we get picked off.
And our argument now is... they have to throw the flag, because the officials need to give our TE a chance to be the defender on an offensive play.
Somebody put a quarter in the merry-go-round.
